Chapter 2 The Prince Regent's Affection
Shen Ba did not want to kneel down.
If she knelt down today, Shen Miao would be on top of her for the rest of her life!
As if he had expected this result, Mu Cheng stood up directly.
He glanced at Shen Xi with disdain.
"It seems that the family tradition of the Zhu family is not as rigorous as the rumors. I have reason to suspect that if the Zhu family does not repair the internal curtains, the family members will not be able to manage it well, so there will be no need to serve as an official in the court."
threaten.
A naked threat.
Mu Cheng didn't even want to act, and directly showed his intention to clean up the Zhu family in public.
Zhu Di was anxious, grabbing Shen Xi's sleeves and urging him in a low voice.
"Pe'er, I know you feel wronged, but you can't bow your head now. She's just a dead person, so just don't take her seriously. Go and salute!"
Which is more important, a woman or a bright future for the family?
Zhu Di didn’t have to think at all.
Shen Bian bit his lips in humiliation, but had to kneel forward and bow three times and bow nine times.
In full view of everyone, she knelt down in front of Shen Miao's memorial tablet.
in the crowd.
When Zhu Wuyou saw this scene, his chest was filled with emotions that he couldn't express.
Just keep looking at your own tablet.
"I never drink anything from unknown origins. It's just a wedding drink. I wish you two to go hand in hand and share the joys and sorrows together."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away without giving the Zhu family any face.
Everyone present was silent.
What kind of blessing is this?
Some smart people can't help but think too much.
Is there something in the regent's words? Is he going to take action on the Zhu family?
So he left on the front foot, and many people left on the back foot one after another, making excuses.
The rest are people with little power.
Those who were particularly powerful did not come at all.
What was a good wedding banquet turned into a farce in the end. By the time the banquet was served, nearly half of the tables in the courtyard were empty.
After returning to Yilan Garden after work, Zhu Wuyou let out a long breath.
She feels much better.
Peony served the tea and looked at her face carefully, "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way? I see that you haven't eaten much, can I bring you some snacks?"
Zhu Wuyou tilted his head and said with a slight smile: "It's nothing but a little tired. Let's get some puff pastry yam rolls."
By the time he finished speaking, Shaoyao had already come in holding snacks.
"I knew the lady wanted to eat this, so I went to the kitchen early to get some. Fortunately, today is a big day and no one made it difficult."
I hope this snack is always available in the house.
Because Shen Miao loves to eat.
"Go and inquire about what's going on in the upper room, especially Zhu...especially the one from eldest brother."
Zhu Wuyou gives instructions.
Shen Bian is the best person to save face. She may not be able to cause trouble today if she loses the master.
She wanted to seize this opportunity to make Shen Bing do something wrong.
Peony nodded and went out.
The peony noodles did not change color, and continued to serve Zhu Wuyou for snacks.
"What kind of grudge does the regent have against the Shen family and the Zhu family? It's not enough that he killed everyone in the Shen family. Now he's targeting the Zhu family again. I just want the young lady not to be implicated."
Zhu Wuyou was stunned.
"Why, people outside are saying that the entire Shen family was killed by the regent?"
Shaoyao nodded.
"Isn't that right? Everyone knows it. Otherwise, why did the reinforcements arrive a full day late? They all say that the regent deliberately delayed his arrival. It's strange that everyone is afraid of him, but I don't know why he hates him so much. Shen, wish the two families?"
Mu Cheng does not hate the Zhu family.
I don’t hate the Shen family either.
He just didn't want to get close to anyone, especially the courtiers, so he always made no excuses against the Shen family who held military power.
The attitude toward the Zhu family is because of Zhu Di's sister, the Zhu family who is now the concubine.
This Zhu family had always been secretly in love with Mu Cheng, and even boldly seduced him after the death of the late emperor.
Of course, no one knows this secret.
The reason why Zhu Wuyou knew this was because she somehow found her way to Mu Cheng the year after her death, and her soul followed him day and night.
Naturally, he "witnessed" the whole process of Concubine Zhu seducing Mu Cheng.
Shaking his head to get rid of the mess of spicy secrets in his head, Zhu Wuyou concentrated on eating snacks.
"No matter what Mu Cheng does to the Zhu Mansion, it has nothing to do with me. I am just an orphan girl living under someone else's roof. The regent, who has always been proud of himself, would not even bother to bully me."
Shaoyao thought about it for a while and realized that it was true, so she stopped worrying.
At the same time, the always proud regent returned to the palace after handling official duties.
"Has her tablet been placed?"
He pinched his brows, his voice hoarse from exhaustion.
The Chief Historian hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Back to Your Highness, I have already invited Sanqing Temple to worship you, and I have asked people to recite sutras for a few days."
"Um."
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has sent you three more maids, saying that she wants them to serve you closely."
A long history of observing the nose and the heart with eyes and nose.
Mu Teng smiled mockingly, "This is because I don't want to give up and want to interfere in the affairs of my king's palace."
Chang Shi smiled and said nothing.
Mu Ting sneered, "Just keep an eye on the arrangement and don't let them come to me and look at me."
"yes."
Without any psychological pressure, Chang Shi followed Mu Cheng to the study.
After taking off his cloak, Mu Cheng let out a long sigh and leaned towards Ruantan.
too tired.
It's not that he hasn't been busy before, but since two years ago, his heart has been empty, and winds from all directions can penetrate his body.
He held his head and lowered his eyes. No matter what Mu Cheng was feeling, he would not show it on his face.
"I heard that all the girls in the Zhu family have short eyelids?"
Chang Shi thought for a while and said, "The Concubine Zhu only has one biological sister. In the Zhu family, there are three cousins. The fourth daughter is the daughter of the second wife, the fifth daughter is the daughter of the third daughter, and the seventh daughter is the concubine. I haven't heard of anyone in particular.
Virtuous and reputable."
If you have no reputation, you have mediocre qualifications.
Such people are short-sighted and prone to trouble.
Mu Ting twirled her fingers, "Then give them a thumbs up and give them more opportunities to show their faces to noble people. After all, they are Princess Zhu's natal family, so they are easy to treat."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
Chang Shi cautiously exited the study.
Mu Teng sat quietly alone, the imminent collapse of the jade mountain adding a hint of solemn loneliness.
"Shen Miao, if you see today's situation, will you regret your original choice?"
Shen Miao naturally regretted it.
That night, she dreamed of her weeping family members questioning her again.
After she woke up with a start, she could no longer sleep. She hugged the quilt and thought about how she could push the Zhu family into a situation of no return.
After thinking about it, she actually only has one way to go.
That is to hug Mu Cheng's lap and use him.
Without him, Mu Cheng seemed to have deep feelings for Shen Miao.
To be honest, she really didn't know about this before she died.
It was only after she died that she found out about it when she came to Mu Cheng for no apparent reason. After all, she followed him day and night, and she knew all his secrets.
For example, he wears a small jade ring close to his body.
